I’m sorry for not being around the past week or so. I had to deal with a personal emergency. Due to its nature, I failed to leave you with any warning.
I know there were post, review and sale shout out requests sent over my way during the course of my absence, I simply had no time to go online and work on them. I even failed to cover some events. I apologise if I had disappointed some of you.
I’d like to extend my deepest gratitude to GeiserMaclang and Bridges for …

I go where the music is.
I’ve always been interested to check out the local INDIE music scene. Just never got around to following it as I would’ve liked. This event will allow me to experience it. Finally.
It’s INDIEviduality, The Royal Elastics Road Tour.
I’m looking forward to checking out the bands. I hear Nyco Maca + Playground, Taken by Cars, Pedicab, Cambio, Sino Sikat? and The Vince Noir Project will be playing at Warehouse 135 in Makati. Starts at half past 8 later this evening.
I’m all for promoting street art, music, …

After a night with the new batch of tart-tongued graphic misfits in a series of shorts shirts, here is one loser’s shirt short tale of the tongue-in-cheek humour, wit, and brutal honesty captured in a brilliantly satirical horde courtesy of the genius behind the popular t shirt brand, David & Goliath, Mr. Douchebag Todd Goldman.
If winning a pair of purple socks after almost running over a lady out of sheer competitiveness for saying “David & Goliath” backwards had made the experience memorably funny, having to sit through the whole thing …

I’d like you guys to meet Bonita Styles. Don’t be deceived. She’s a bad influence.

She may be looking all fashionable dressed up in that cute green number, cool white sunnies and sporting that funky ‘do but she comes bearing 6 tempting offers, good enough to give in.
Go on. I know you so want to know what the heck I’m talking about.

Just to prove that I’m in a t shirt shopping frenzy, I’d like to let you guys in on my favourite expression of late — “Baby I Like That”. LOL. I seem to be uttering these words left and right, with every instance that my eyes would rest on a shirt. If this is some sort of flu, then it must be some money-draining-but-oh-so-stylish flu. Heh.
Teh boyfriend and I went to MOA last Sunday to watch U23D on IMAX. Awesome experience, I tell ‘ya. But before that, I dragged him …

It screams “Menswear” but I just had to laugh when I came across this shirt cuz it’s so applicable to me in so many ways. LMAO.
Interestingly enough, I would never have expected that I’ll be extending a fabulous hat tip to The Technographist for this tshirt find and a nifty shopping advice to boot.
Pictured is our favorite design, a clever play on RSS feeds (you can subscribe to Technograph’s RSS feed here by the way). These t-shirts are great gifts for geeks, bloggers, web developers, and those involved in …

These days wherein most women are working towards keeping up with the trends and all things modern when it comes to their personal style, the appeal of age and antiques on apparel and accessories aren’t all that popular. Apart from the fact that we do find it intimidating to collect and relatively confusing to pick out which ones have that unique vintage characteristic, we often mistake that wearing the trends will automatically equate to our being stylish. But we all know that it’s not true now, don’t we?
Vintage fashion is …

First there was Marni then there was Becky. Both were peep-toe stilettos from Syrup. I reckon we’re all properly acquainted with those two. Now, I’d like to introduce to you my new Bronze Peep-toe Matthews Stilts named Lauren. Seriously. They’ve named this pair, Lauren, and it’s right there printed on the inner portion of the shoe.
